Newly released court footage and 911 recordings reveal the terrifying moments that led to the shocking murder of high school athlete Austin Metcalf by fellow student Karmelo Anthony during a Texas track meet.

The crime, captured by surveillance and police body cameras, shows a chilling sequence: a brief argument, a single fatal stab, and the suspect bolting from the scene.

The Collin County Court made the evidence public following Anthony’s conviction for first-degree murder earlier this month.

The release includes multiple surveillance angles, crime scene photos, and the emergency call that documented the frantic attempts to save Metcalf’s life on April 2, 2025, at Memorial High School in Frisco, Texas.

Here's What They're Not Telling You About Your Retirement

One clip shows Anthony darting out from under the team tent, sprinting through the stands, and across the track after stabbing Metcalf.

Another video captures him casually walking by tents before the confrontation.

Minutes later, body camera footage shows police apprehending a visibly shaken Anthony, who tells officers, “He put his hands on me. I told him not to. He put his hands on me.”

Photographs from prosecutors display a blood-soaked jacket, the knife used in the fatal attack, and bloody bleachers where desperate teammates and an Army veteran tried to stop Metcalf’s bleeding.

The murder weapon, a three-and-a-half-inch folding Ozark Trail multi-tool, was not costly or sophisticated but proved deadly when wielded in anger.

Audio from the 911 call paints a chaotic scene.

A witness tells the operator that an athlete has been stabbed, adding that a veteran is applying pressure to the wound as people scream in the background.

The caller says, “There’s a lot of blood. He’s not breathing,” before reporting that the boy began gasping for air again. In the distance, a man can be heard shouting, “Stay with me, Austin! Fight through, Austin!”

Prosecutors said the stabbing happened after Metcalf and his brother spoke with Anthony at their team’s tent.

Anthony admitted to the stabbing but insisted he acted in self defense, claiming he felt physically threatened.

The jury did not buy it.

They found him guilty and Judge John Roach sentenced him to 35 years in prison.

He will not be eligible for parole until he serves at least half that time.

More images released by the court show Anthony’s hands cuffed behind his back as he sits inside a police vehicle with what looks like blood smeared across his left hand.

Another photo displays the deep chest wound that ended Metcalf’s life, measured by investigators with a forensic ruler.

Judge Roach explained that his decision to release the evidence was rooted in transparency now that the trial has concluded.

“The overwhelming focus on my ruling regarding the media in the courtroom was to protect the process, witnesses, and jury. Now that the trial is over, it is important to provide transparency,” he told Fox News Digital.

Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, had viewed the video evidence before the trial.

He told Fox News Digital that the footage reveals the truth many refused to accept.

“The video clearly shows the conversation lasted less than 10 seconds. That’s it. There was no four on one,” he said.

“He wasn’t jumped. There was no four on one. He wasn’t surrounded. Look at the video. There’s a shove and there’s a stab, and it’s over and he runs away. That’s it.”

Despite overwhelming evidence and eyewitness testimony, Anthony’s supporters continue to cry foul, claiming bias among jurors.

The outcry has done little to change the facts: an innocent teenager is dead, a convicted killer admitted what he did, and a community is left reeling from senseless violence.

Investigators say Anthony pulled the cheap knife from his backpack during the brief confrontation, plunging it once into Metcalf’s chest before running from the tent.

Police arrested him minutes later after witnesses identified him.

On the bodycam footage, one officer can be heard saying to another, “This is the alleged suspect.”

A voice that seems to be Anthony’s responds off camera, “I know how it goes. I’m not alleged. I did it.”

The case has stirred deep emotions across Collin County, particularly among parents who demand stricter supervision and better safety measures at school events.

Many are asking how a student could bring a knife onto school grounds and use it without detection.

For the Metcalf family, the release of the footage brings painful but necessary closure.

They have remained steadfast in their belief that the truth would prevail despite the noise and rumors that flooded social media after the killing.

As Jeff Metcalf said, “Now people can see for themselves exactly what happened to my son.”

The community, meanwhile, continues to mourn a teen remembered as a gifted runner and a loyal friend who had just begun finding his path in life.
